4 CREATE YOUR VOICE MAILBOX Setting up your voice mailbox by phone is easy, and it only takes a few minutes. Follow these simple steps: Dial *98 from your home phone. Enter your temporary PIN number (it s the last 4 digits of your new EPB Fiber Optics account number, written on the back of this guide). Follow the prompts to set up your mailbox, and change your PIN number. You can also access the voic system by dialing your home number from any touch-tone phone and pressing *.

5 SECURE YOUR VOICE MAILBOX WITH A NEW PIN NUMBER For your security, you should immediately change your temporary PIN, even if you re not yet ready to set up your voice mailbox. Dial *98 and enter your mailbox PIN when prompted. Press 4 for Mailbox Setting, then 3 for Security Options. Follow the prompts. Your new PIN should be at least four digits.
